Differences in levels of bacteria by qPCR during menstruation.

Data shown for 16 subjects who reported days with and without menses during the study period.Mean log10 adjusted change, p-values, and 95% CIs (confidence intervals) estimated using a linear mixed model with participants as random effects and adjusted for treatment. We tested those patterns that appeared interesting upon examination of the data; thus, these p-values and 95% CIs arise from exploratory analyses and serve as a basis for future hypothesis-driven research.
